<p>is that linked to Uva or another college?</p>
<p>it’s linked to uva but not like the branch campuses of penn state are linked to penn state… uva wise is a 4 year school with its own requirements that does not involve transferring to uva-cville in any way. i’m not really sure why they’re affiliated minus having a swva presence (also i think we have a nova campus too? dont know much about that either).</p>
<p>It’s designated as the state’s public liberal arts college, but its entirely separate from UVA, the same way that UNC-Asheville is from UNC-Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>It is considered a branch (the official name is “The University of Virginia’s College at Wise”). President Casteen and the Board of Visitors govern both schools. However, Wise is a small college of a few thousand students while UVa is a medium sized research university. </p>
<p>Wise is different from the “centers” we have in Richmond, NOVA, and Tidewater, which are used by continuing ed students.</p>
